It's fair to say that I spend an unhealthy amount of time looking at Habitat's new-in section — but for good reason. I've long been a fan of the brand, consistently impressed by the designer-look homewares and furniture I come across, and I also feel it's one of the high street brands that keeps upping the ante with seriously design-led products at seriously good value — and its new-in lighting drop is no exception.
I'm talking modern takes on mid-century-inspired style, sculptural, undulating forms, and the use of textural and natural materials that each bring a stylish slice of that warmth and coziness we are increasingly craving in our interiors. Lighting should not be considered as purely functional; this transformative piece of decor sets the tone for a space — it injects life, depth, and character, and the wrong lighting can make a room fall completely flat.
